Since then we have learned that the actual use of the some of that money and how it will be dispersed has already been decided. At last night's Wicomico County Council meeting, Joe Holloway mentioned that they have learned Mr. Pollitt proposes to use $100,000 to pay the County's impact fee on residential development – currently about $5,000 for a single-family home.
Instead of suspending the impact fee tax as other counties and towns including Salisbury and Fruitland have done – which Bob Culver has requested -- Mr. Pollitt wants the taxpayers to pay the fee, using money generated by the tax increase that Mr. Pollitt has also proposed in his latest budget that the County could apply to road repair, and other public benefits.
This proposal is unbelievable, but true. It is like, to mask the pain from shooting yourself in the foot, shooting yourself in the other foot. Mr. Pollitt must consider the impact fee "too good to stop” and want Wicomico County taxpayers to have the pleasure of paying it. They should be outraged.
That leaves $150,000 of the proposed funding. When Joe Holloway asked if the administration could let the Council know about Mr. Pollitt's plan for spending that, the response suggests that the money is already earmarked. What else is being hidden from public scrutiny by Mr. Pollitt?

Please, everyone -- vote for Bob Culver!
Just think about this , it is true.
Democrats have been on a shopping spree for 5 years with your money.
Will it ever stop , the answer is
no!!
This absurdity has "Memo Diriker" and "Chamber of Commerce" written all over it.
This is why we need to keep the County's tax cap as it is.
Bob Culver has been trying for months to get the impact fee reduced or suspended, but Pollitt and Matt Holloway have been blocking any serious discussion.
Now we know why.
People, you better get out there &
against Pollitt he is destroying this town little by little!
Joe Holloway always has the tax payers interest at heart & I thank him for doing so!!!
Check this one out, too -

I will paint all the signs for Bob Im really good at that. I will place them around the roads, I am good at that to. Then I got a favor to ask.
1:30 - and flush our elected representatives.....
That about what it will cost to get the FOP death benefit funding started, the firefighter death benefit started, and raises for FOP Deputies.
Thank God for the guts of Joe Holloway and Bob Culver. When the very rich and the very entitled conspire to screw over the taxpayer, it takes folks with courage to try to stop it.
Let pollitt continue. He is just digging his hole deeper.
Again I state as I always have:
NO ONE CARES PERIOD!!! if you DO THEN THIS WOULD NOT BE HAPPENING LET ALONE WOULD IT CONTINUE...
PEOPLE are not at their end point yet, and if you wait much but not to much longer it won't even matter, THERE WILL BE A TIME THAT COMES AND SOON, that you will not be able to undo what has been done and being done continually...
I just can't wait anymore, I actually want the boot of the govt to step on your damned face... IF us talking about it, and JOE making you aware by bringing you information about it, and you still don't care then maybe you need to have your face smashed in by the govt as the rest have and MAYBE THEN YOU WILL GET IT AND UNDERSTAND AND TAKE ACTION but when that happens as I said, it is too late...
I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW STUPID YOU MUST BE TO ACTUALLY WANT TO PAY FOR PEOPLES SALARIES and make you pay fees and taxes while you go into debt just to live... And in the end you will be placed in jail for your debt... mark my words...
YOUR KIDS AND GRANDKIDS AND FUTURE KIDS ARE NOW SLAVES... THE ONLY ONES LEFT ARE YOU AND I...
for you lazy, I don't care type of people, don't let crap hit the fan and you come up to me one day in the street for help, I might smack you in the face, laugh and walk away laughing, saying SUCK IT UP remember all those times we warned you about this and you didn't give a shit? well let me return the favor by not giving a shit about you needing help... because we need your help now and you are not giving it or care to help...
Before I move from this county I will do my best to vote this Pos Pollitt OUT...
dittos 2:20. Please vote for Bob Culver to retire Pollitt. Re-elect Joe Holloway.
Pollitt is really scary. Lights are on but no ones home...go figure.
You want the fees suspended. Where do you make up that lost revenue? I say if there is a plan that will in effect reduce the fees, and not lose the corresponding revenue, go for it. Taking a bad situation and making the best of it. And no, I'm not on welfare, own my home, and take no handouts. I just believe in paying my own way and paying for the services I want the county to provide. Let the assault begin.
so instead u ask the tax payer to PAY the fee, instead of the person who should? ? ? that is freaking stupid. that means ur taxes go up for someone else? wealth redistribution (IE developer)
If you want to stop this outrage, contact the 4 stooges on the Council:
Barko, Sheree, Matty-boy and John the RINO
WHERE IS THE MD IG OFFICE ON THIS CORRUPT COUNTY GOVT.???????????
Pagano says that he is a big time businessman, so he must be one of those "advisors" to Pollitt.
Mr./Ms. 1:47
Have you told Bob or are you B-Sing us?

I will be voting for Bob and Joe and the rest can go. When is this county going to wake up and see the circus that is in office.

By the way Muir Boda and Tom Taylor are not Republicans.
being gray headed and overweight does not make one trustworthy.

It's called cutting the wasteful spending that was never needed. Have you ever heard about living within your means. You are a damn idiot and you don't deserve to vote for me.
Like the Board of Elections move this sounds like more backscratching before election time.
2:19...gimme gimme gimme gimme ..while I tell you what I will and will not do...while I rule over you
